Applicants for licensure as a
nursing home administrator are required to take a national examination
administered by the National Association of Boards of Examiners of Long Term
Care Administrators (NAB). No state
examination is required. Once the
applicant is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing Home Administrators to
take the national examination he/she is notified of this eligibility and
provided instructions for contacting NAB for the purpose of registering to take
the examination. Study materials are
provided to the applicant by NAB upon registration for the examination. Once the examination has been taken the
Georgia Board is notified of each applicant’s score. If a passing score was obtained, a license is
issued. The examination can be retaken according
to the information provided in NHA Rule 393-3-.04(1) for those applicants
failing to obtain a passing score. In order
to register to retake the examination, the applicant contacts NAB as previously
instructed.
